Read MoreThe 30th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference was held in Chengdu, China from October 13 to October 19. The LPP-ERM/KMS team contributed to the conference with three poster presentations focusing on ICRH and fast-ion physics in leading fusion facilities worldwide, including JET, JT-60SA, and Wendelstein 7-X. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is all about sharing […]
Read MoreAn article about the new ITER baseline has been published in the June issue of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion. This important article contains contributions from LPP and is co-authored by two members of our Lab, Ernesto Lerche and Dirk Van Eester. The paper is available in open access here and can be directly downloaded […]
Read MoreLPP members Yevgen Kazakov and Jef Ongena collaborated to a new article on Deuterium-Tritium plasma physics published in September 2024 in the prestigious journal “Nature Communications”. The paper is called Stable Deuterium-Tritium plasmas with improved confinement in the presence of energetic-ion instabilities and is available in open-access from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52182-z.
Read MoreA paper from Dirk Van Eester, Ernesto Lerch and co-authors has been recently accepted for publication in the journal “Plasmas Physics and Controlled Fusion“. This paper is entitled “Maximising D−T fusion power by optimising the plasma composition and beam choice in JET” and focuses on the heating aspects and was intended to give a qualitative […]
Read MoreExtremely high plasma temperatures are required to allow energy production in a fusion reactor. The Laboratory for Plasma Physics of the Royal Military Academy (LPP-ERM/KMS), led by director Prof. Michael Van Schoor, is famous for its expertise in heating fusion devices with ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH). One of the recent achievements in this field […]
